Title
The Incarnate Angel
Description
English: Erotic drawing.

It has been commented that "A small pinhole at the top centre of this Angelo Incarnato sheet suggests that it was tacked up in the studio."[1]

The drawing first emerged in 1991.[2]

The blog spot from which this was uploaded identifies and dates the picture correctly. See also page 18 of Alessandro Vezzosi's book Leonardo e lo sport: arte, scienza, tecnica e mito.

For a similar painting by Leonardo da Vinci see Saint John the Baptist in the Louvre Museum. Also see St John the Baptist by the studio of Leonardo in the Ashmolean Museum.
